api-authorization-and-bola

api-authorization-and-bola is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 36 tokens per session (447 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of api-authorization-and-bola, MIT.

An API authorization testing playbook for checking whether users can access or change objects and functions they should not. It covers object IDs, nested resources, HTTP methods, and hidden fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Testing read, create, update, and delete requests between two accounts, including nested endpoints, alternate methods, admin functions, and writable fields such as roles or organizations.
Why use it?
It helps find access-control mistakes where one account can use another account’s data or permissions. It also checks authorization paths that developers often overlook.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-authorization-and-bola scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

SKILL: API Authorization and BOLA — Object Access, Function Access, and Mass Assignment

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill when an API exposes object IDs, nested resources, or role-sensitive functions and you need a focused authorization test path: BOLA, BFLA, method abuse, and hidden field control.

1. CORE TEST LOOP

  1. Create Account A and Account B.
  2. As Account A, capture create, read, update, and delete flows.
  3. Replay with Account B's token.
  4. Test sibling endpoints, nested endpoints, and alternate HTTP verbs.

2. TEST SURFACES

Surface Example
object read /api/v1/orders/123
nested object /api/v1/users/1/invoices/9
admin or internal function /api/v1/admin/users
update path PUT, PATCH, DELETE variants
hidden JSON fields role, org, verified, tier

3. QUICK PAYLOADS

{"role":"admin"}
{"isAdmin":true}
{"org":"target-company"}
{"verified":true}

4. WHAT TESTERS MISS

  • object IDs in headers, cookies, GraphQL args, and nested objects
  • alternate methods sharing the same route but weaker authz
  • parent check present, child resource check missing
  • admin docs revealing extra writable fields

5. NEXT ROUTING

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
